Had a bit of spare time, so I looked for the brilliant quotes from “V for Vendetta”.
I have found, and here they follow:
V: There is no such thing as coincidence, just the illusion of coincidence.
V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain
by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox
populi, now vacant, vanished, *(as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates
what they once vilified.) However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,
stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding
vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain,
for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant
and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose
so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
* There are two different versions of the monologue… the shorter one was used in the American version.
Translation:
Behold! Before you is a humble performer, cast, against his will, by fate, to the roles of both victim and villain. The face you see now is not just some mere facade of pointless theatrics. It is a remnant of the people’s voice, which has since gone and disappeared. However, this past annoyance stands courageously reborn and has sworn to conquer the evil and corrupt, who promote greed and the violent suppression of free will. The only way to do this is with a war of retribution. It will not be a fruitless revenge, for the importance and self-evidence of this quest shall exonerate the open-minded and righteous. But in truth, this thick soup of words is becoming too excessive. So, let me simply finish by saying that it’s my very good honour to meet you, and you may call me V.

V: I’m quite sure they will say so.
V: The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain.
